Great video, thanks! Blake taught me to fish the N. Platte on a float trip last July. Excellent guide! I wade fished for 5 days after the float and caught over 100 rainbows. I hooked and lost many more than that. What a fantastic river and what an awesome guide Blake is!
Just letting you know how much I enjoy your videos. The length of 20+ minutes is great. You used to be able to watch flyfishing shows, but not anymore. I like to just load up your videos and let them go. I also appreciate your everyday no one special persona. I know I would enjoy meeting you. Keep the videos coming. Tight lines.
+William Clark Thank you William. Please keep in touch, and keep on watching. We are posting season V episodes, and getting ready to film season VI. :-)
I gotta give you some constructive criticism you don't need to set the hook like it is a Marlin a small turn of the wrist downstream would produce a lot more hookups
Jeff, I missed one fish during the day of filming, and it was because I was watching the wind blow the sagebrush around, and not paying attention to my fly. If you are referring to the first hook set, that was done immediately after mending and adding slack to the line. So, I changed direction quickly. If you would like to get a better handle on hook-sets, get a buddy and have him set the hook as hard as he can while you hold the end of the line. You will notice the bend in the rod takes up a lot of the energy in the line. That's on a normal 9 foot rod. I was using an 11 foot rod which bends much more. Add the friction from the water surface tension, and the wind blowing against everything, and the fact our line is downstream of the boat's position, it creates a much more dynamic situation. When casting upstream, and drifting downstream, it is often appropriate to set the hook with little effort, possibly using a wrist-flick as you describe. However, we were not in that situation, during this episode.
